(🕊️) For the truth behind the veil

Here, I name names: colonial gods, failed revolutions, and quiet queer wars. No sugarcoating. No fake neutrality.

LOTUS is not just a newsletter. It’s my revolution in verse. It’s the cry of a queer Egyptian son, rising from the ruins of religion, memory, and silence. It’s my love letter to freedom, my bold stand with Israel, and my ongoing war against shame. Here, I write with incense and fire—blending personal myth with political clarity.

Expect essays that bleed truth, reflections carved in exile, and stories the regime prays you'll never read.

This is where I tell the full story—of the boy I was, the god I left, and the nation I still mourn, mouth open in prayer and protest.

This is not journalism.

It’s sacred insurgency.

It’s poetry with a sword.

Welcome to LOTUS.

Where truth blooms.

Even in the mud.

Each piece is a sacred scroll—whether it's a political pulse, a chapter of my childhood, or a defiant meditation on identity. You’ll get it all, the moment I release it, get the Substack app.
